<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">[size= 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap]If you&rsquo;re installing electric underfloor heating, ensure that the system complies with local electrical codes and standards. It&rsquo;s essential to use certified and high-quality components, such as thermostats, wiring, and heating mats. An experienced electrician should perform the wiring to prevent risks like short circuits, overheating, or electrical shocks. Proper grounding and circuit protection are vital safety measures.[/size]

Use high-quality pipes and fittings designed for heating applications. During installation, carefully inspect all connections and fittings to prevent leaks that could cause water damage or mold growth. Installing a leak detection system can provide added security, alerting you to any issues before they cause significant damage.[/size]
